I see. But the problem is this:

1. If I check for the presence of python3-config then it says:

edjsa@server66:~/projects/juergen/apl-1.7$ which python3-config
/home/eedjsa/.pyenv/shims/python3-config


2. But if I then call it then it fails:

eedjsa@server66:~/projects/juergen/apl-1.7$ python3-config
pyenv: python3-config: command not found


The `python3-config' command exists in these Python versions:
  3.6.4

Such behaviour makes it impossible to use it in a Makefle.am or to
troubleshoot build errors caused by this behaviour. I believe that
hard-wiring the path in Makefile.am is a more reliable approach.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

It means that starting with python 3.6.4 (Python 3.6.4, Release Date: Dec. 19, 2017)
the program "python3-config" will be available forever to be used as helper for configuration.

it provides various clues as where are the includes and what is the extention to be use in /usr/lib64/python3.n/lib-dynload/

$ python3-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python3.7m -I/usr/include/python3.7m

$ python3-config --extension-suffix
.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

so:

cd /usr/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload/
ln -fs /usr/local/lib/apl/lib_gnu_apl.so gnu_apl$(python3-config --extension-suffix)

ls -ld gnu_apl*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Jun 18 03:28 gnu_apl.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so -> /usr/local/lib/apl/lib_gnu_apl.so*


python 3.4 was released on 17-Oct-2012
and is about 7 years old.

Hi,

thanks, good to know. My personal feeling is that Python configuration is an
unportable mess. If I run *python3-config*, then I get:

*pyenv: python3-config: command not found**
**
**The `python3-config' command exists in these Python versions:**
**  3.6.4**
*
No idea what this means or why this is so.
For that reason I prefer explicit settings rather than tools that "help" me
getting things right.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

I made it work but only with some works

Makefile.am from:

lib_gnu_apl_la_CXXFLAGS += -I/usr/include/python3.4m

to:

lib_gnu_apl_la_CXXFLAGS += `python3-config --includes`


then run: "autoreconf"
          ./configure --with-python
          make -j4
          sudo make install

then had to run as root:

cd /usr/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload/
ln -f /usr/local/lib/apl/lib_gnu_apl.so gnu_apl.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

*Note* the different target name. I made a hard link rather than a copy (cp), matter of tastes.



then it works!

Hi,

I haven't tried Python 2.7 but it may work. I followed the instructions in

*https://docs.python.org/3.3/c-api*

I personally find *Python 2.7 *somewhat odd, so I never considered it.

According to *./configure  --help:*
*...**
**  --with-python           enable to build python extension lib_gnu_apl.so**
**...*

so *--with-python* is the correct approach. Regarding the python version, you can
either:

change *line 184* in *src/Makefile.am*:

*lib_gnu_apl_la_CXXFLAGS += -I/usr/include/python3.4m*

to reflect your Python version and then *autoreconf* and *./configure --with-python* again,
or something like:

*CXX_FLAGS="-I/usr/include/python3.4m" ./configure**--with-python*

Best Regards,
Jürgen

If I configure with: --with-libpython_apl
it says: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libpython_apl

If I configure with: --with-python
it fail in #include <Python.h>   (no such file or directory)
probably because of hard coded "-I/usr/include/python3.4m" which does not exist on my system.


this is because it try to compile with python3.4m  but on my system (fedora30)
the installed pythons are:

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python -V
Python 2.7.16

and

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3 -V
Python 3.7.3

You can probably invoke python3-config as in:

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --help
Usage: /usr/bin/python3.7m-x86_64-config --prefix|--exec-prefix|--includes|--libs|--cflags|--ldflags|--extension-suffix|--help|--abiflags|--configdir

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python3.7m -I/usr/include/python3.7m

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --libs
-lpython3.7m -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm


to figure-out where are the includes dirs and may be other dirs.

I suppose this interface is NOT intended for python2 at all, and it's fine with me.

Hi,

in following a suggestion by Kumar Ramanathan, I have created a Python interface for GNU APL.
With that interface you can execute APL code, create APL defined functions, etc.  from Python.
Similar to *libapl* for C/C++ or to the Erlang interface.

See *README-10-python* for details.

*SVN 1167*.
